fastest time frame to lose one pant size

Don't know about pant sizes but in Feb2012 I had no spare holes in my trouser belt and today I've got 3 spare holes and back from 38 inch waist to 34 inch waist.

:drinker:

Depends on where you are in a size, too. Going from a tight size __ to the next size down is going to take longer than going from a looser size __ to the next size down.

Sizing is so inconsistent, too. I've taken the same brand jeans into the dressing room in a size 7, 5, and 3 and had them all fit the same.

And from personal experience, the faster the pounds dropped, the slower the progress in body composition. Five pounds lost slowly over a month makes more of an impact than five pounds lost in a week.

Depends on how big you are now. The larger women's sizes require more weight loss to change. At one point I had lost over 30 pounds and still didn't go down in pants size. If you're already a size 8 or 10 the sizes are closer and you might only need to lose 10 pounds to change sizes. It's very individual too as to where you carry your excess weight. I carry all my weight in my stomach area, so I always wear a size 2-3 sizes bigger than someone else my same weight.
